Telling Stories

Good morning family. Praying for my family and friends in OK and TX, the hawk is out along with sleet and icy roads. The cold weather continues this morning. Thanking God that it didn't feel like 41 degrees. It's actually not that bad. I dosed the kids up last night because they played in the cold all day. Our kids aren't as tough as we used be. For some reason I don't remember us having colds and coughs like they do. Maybe it's because we played outside more as opposed to sitting in front of the TV playing games. Exercise is one of the keys to raising healthy kids. IJS. This morning I give all honor and praise to God for all He allows and shows. The more we learn about ourselves based on His word, the better we become. What I've learned is that I/we can't allow my/our circumstances to discourage me/us or others. Speaking positive affirmations is a must. I'm so grateful that I've been able to understand that negative things happen in my life to make me stronger, to build me up. I'm more aware of seasonal transitions so I don't allow frustration to take over. Change is a must and welcomed in my life. What we all must learn is that every second of our lives holds a story that someone needs to hear. Whether the story is funny, whether a story is a lesson or whether it's a release, we have to continue telling telling/sharing them. When we don't tell/share our stories we miss the opportunity to help others. I can't tell you how many times my spirit has been lifted by hearing someone else tell me their story or share an experience. As we inch closer to the New Year, I pray we all continue sharing our lives. I feel that every day is new journey for my family and friends, a journey worth sharing and documenting, a journey full of stories that will influence the "me" God wants to see. Praying for us all.
